Penalties Drawn - As listed by the NHL's official scoresheet. PKs Ended - Penalties drawn during a penalty kill. A PKE point will still be awarded even if the drawn penalty only reduces the PK to a 3-v-4. PP Goals Created - PP goals resulting from the specific penalty that the player drew. 5-v-3 goals will result in points being awarded to both players who drew penalties; in theory the same player could get both points.

That Dwyer penalty was one of the worst calls I've seen in a while. Skates straight to the net and the defenseman drops his stick.....interference. There were some other weak ones both ways but I could at least see why those were called with the standard start of season enforcement of rules.

Gleason's instigator created an interesting situation. He didn't put the team on a PK, but he did cost them a PP. I think the way it's scored above is a fair reflection of what happened, but let me know if it seems off.

* Brett Sutter's goal-against was officially recorded at even strength, because it was scored at exactly 120 seconds after the penalty was taken. However, not only is that for all practical purposes a PPG against, but the power play was actually still on the board when the puck went in the net. As often happens, the clock didn't stop till a second later. I scored it as a PPG against for the purposes of this project, which is the only time I have altered the official scoring so far.

There was a difficult sequence in the first period -- I think I have it right, but I'm posting the rationale just to be sure.

06:34 CAR Tim Wallace : Boarding (maj) (Tye McGinn)
06:34 CAR Tim Wallace : Game Misconduct
06:34 PHI Braydon Coburn : Roughing (Tim Wallace) Barring other penalties, this would have created 4-on-4 until 8:34, followed by a 3-minute major PP
08:11 CAR Bobby Sanguinetti : Tripping (Brayden Schenn) This created a 4-on-3 until 8:34, which would have been followed by 5-on-3 until 10:11, barring the next penalty...
10:04 PHI Mike Knuble : Interference (Tim Gleason) This created a 4-on-3 Philly PP for 7 seconds, followed by a 4-on-4 until 11:34, followed by a Carolina PP until 12:04, and then finally back to even strength.

The scoring below is based on those assumptions. Please let me know if they're wrong.

I hadn't considered what would happen when a player drew a penalty during a 5-on-3 PK. I scored it as a "PK ended", identical to the same event during a 5-on-4.
